Ralston18 Overall not a good idea. Highly invasive and likely illegal. Will leave it to the lawyers (full disclosure, I am not a lawyer) to battle this one out. What is that saying about "The road to hell….."? Reply

Unless it's something I can find cheaper elsewhere, and do not need it same day, I always go to Microcenter. Not sure what you find odd about purchasing requirements. Reply
bill001g Customs will be very happy with their 10 new 5090. If you fill out the import paperwork correctly it will immediately be flagged and they will confiscate it. Even before AI they were really good at finding fraudulent paperwork so if try to hide it they will still take all your 5090 and put you in jail for a while. This is partially why they changed the laws so you can not ship stuff from china without any import paperwork…pretending it was worth less than $200. Reply

robmillion Not for nothing, but there is approximately a 100% chance these were MADE in China. Reply
bigdragon Purchasing a 5090 in a US store and then flipping it to China for a profit — is this a thing people are doing now? I suppose it makes sense given just how absurd 5090 prices are and how prevalent scalping is. I doubt most buyers are using them for gaming or even digital media creation. Can one of those 5090s seized by US customs be purchased? I hope they're not being destroyed. Reply
